It's possible, but AFAIK not without a smart server at the other end.
This is being worked on, but it's a Savannah issue with no ETA last I
heard, not an Emacs or Bazaar issue. For status on this, see
https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?107077.
Óscar mentioned "lightweight checkout", but as I understand it this
may involve downloading the whole repo anyway, since actually
extracting files from the archive storage is done by your local bzr.
I don't think it's worth the effort for you, because of the way Bazaar
stores content in packs (compressed archives) of several megabytes.
Maybe somebody could create a temporary mirror with a smart server on
it for folks like you. It could be "by invitation only" to limit
bandwidth and server wear-and-tear.
